There are many situations when you would need to convert Word to PDF documents. Perhaps the most common one is that MS Word reformats documents when they’re opened on a different computer. Even for the case when you use the same computer but a different printer, the formatting will be lost. So in order to bypass such unpleasant scenarios, you can just convert your file into PDF (Portable Document Format).

In your case, you’ll have to access the ‘Word to PDF’ option that’s positioned in the right part of the webpage. You won’t even have to scroll down to see it. Once you’re in, you have three simple steps left:

  1. Hit the ‘Choose Word File’ button or simply drag and drop your .doc or .docx file.
  2. If you hit the button, locate your .doc or .docx file within your computer and select it.
  3. Wait for the app to finish the conversion task (it won’t take long)
